Andy Borowitz weighs in: SCALIA CALLS “DUCK DYNASTY” DECISION UNCONSTITUTIONAL
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia lashed out at the cable network A&E today, calling its decision to suspend Phil Robertson, the star of the TV series Duck Dynasty, unconstitutional, and demanding that it be overturned at once.
Speaking at a press conference with fellow Justice Clarence Thomas, a visibly angry Scalia told reporters that Robertson was exercising his First Amendment right to express an opinionan opinion, I might add, that many other great Americans agree with.
He warned that the suspension of the Duck star would have a chilling effect on freedom of speech in America: If Phil Robertson can be muzzled for expressing this perfectly legitimate view, whats to prevent the same thing from happening to, say, a Justice of the Supreme Court?
He added that, while he was a huge Duck Dynasty fan who never misses an episode, his objection to Mr. Robertsons suspension was purely on Constitutional grounds.
